Explanation of Stitches 



^ 



Chain (ch). With a slip knot on the honk, .haw tlire;i'l throiiRh 
this loop ; aj;aiii draw thrca^i throiij;h tliis sucorul Ux>\i and 
continue until the chain i;; of the required length. 

Slip Stitch (si). Having a st on the hook, put hook through 
work : draw thread tlirough work and loop on the hook at 
the same time. 

Double (d). Having a st on the hook, put hook through work, 
draw thread through work (making two U)ops on the liook) ; 
thread over again and through hoth Iooms. (This stiteh has 
bei'ii, especially in wool crochet, calleil "single crochet." 
But it simplifies crocheting to call it "double crochet." after 
the custom of workers in Irish crochet; and that eliminates 
entirely the name "single crochet.") 

Half Treble (ht). Having a st on the hook, thread over hook, 
hook through work, thread over and through work (having 
three sts on the hook), thread over and tlirough all three 
sts at once. 

litKBLH (t). Ilnving a st on the hook, threail over hook, hook 
through work, thread over ami through worlc (having three 
sts on the hook), thread over and through two loops, thread 
over and again through two loops. 

Doi'BLE Trrblh (dt). Having a st on the hook, thread over twic\ 
hook through work, thread over and through work (having 
four sts on the hook), thread over and through two, over 
and through two, over and through two. 

Long Treble (It) or Triple Treble (tt). Like donhle treble, 
but thread over three times, and after thread through work, 
crocheting off by twos. 

t^rADRUPLE Treblb (qt). Thread over four times, and crochet off 
by twos. Sometimes "long treble" is used for anything longer 
than dt, and the number of loops given. 



PicoT (ji). A p is formed on a ch by joining the last four sH 
(or any given number) in a ring by working a &1, or a d, 
in the fourth st from the hook. In the following <lirections 
a si is understood unless otherwise designated. In a feA' 
cases the p is joined by a treble, but it is so stated in the 
directions. 

('LINY Stitches, or Geiopps ok Cltny. Two, three, or four (any 
given number) trebles, dt, or long t are crochete<l off, except 
the last loop of each, which is kej't on the hook and one 
loop drawn through all together. 

Roll Stitch is made as follows: Thread ov<'r hook a given num- 
ber of times, thread through work, thread over and througlj 
all the loops (but not through the st on the hook), thread 
over and through both on the hook. The hook for roll st 
^llould be of uniform thickness a considerable distance from 
the point. 

Block of 4, or Block of 3, etc. A given number of t, «It, or 
long t worked without ch between. 

Shell. A group of t, ch 1 (or more), the same number of t, 
all joined in the same st or over same ch, as (4 t, ch 3, 4 t). 
The number of t, as well as the luimher of ch, may vary. 
"Shell over shell," the t are all made over ch of shell below._ 

Knot Switch (k st). To make a k st draw out the st on the 
hook until it is about % of an inch long, catch working 
thread and draw through st, insert hook in front of the long 
st, and under the thread which was ilrawn through, and make 
one d. Two ks are usually made for a mesh, then joined to 
the work with a d. Second row of k' st, * make 2 ks, 
join with d under the two threads of next open st and 
close to knot, one d in next open st (after k) ; repeat from *. 

Space (sp). In filet crochet, "ch 2, miss 2 sts, t in next" : where 
the number of t is given, as 4 t, 7 t, etc., this t is included.

The foregoing illustrations. Figs. 2 and 4, of Bor- 
der and Insertion for Tea Cloth are of remarkable 
pieces of work in the line of filet crochet. They dif- 
fer from that work as it is usually made, in one minor 
point; the stitch is taken under the back loop, only, 
of stitch below, whereas the custom of taking the 
stitch under two threads is more generally followed. 
In the present instance it gives a very handsome ribbed 
effect, and as the work is exquisitely done, it adds 
much to the beauty of the piece. That plan, however, 
is to be adopted with caution and only by skilful 
workers ; in the hands of the amateur it tends to draw 
the work out (in the length of the trebles) and it 
compHcates very much the problem of making the

filet crochet square, which is absolutely essential. 

While a great number of workers have no difficulty 
in copying from a block pattern, yet there are other 
numbers who plead for detailed directions ; and it is 
with the purpose of pleasing the latter that the direc- 
tions for this lace are written out in full. Since 
tliis piece is included in a collection of crochet 
embracing many varieties, special emphasis has not 
been put upon principles underlying filet crochet ; 
the directions have been given in the simplest method 
possible in terms common to all the popular forms of 
crochet. 

The work of filet crochet is among the most popu- 
lar forms of crocheting, yet it is capable of more 
abuses than most other varieties. Most writers give 
an approximate scale of meshes to an inch with the 
different numbers of cotton. Without any doubt the 
same number of rows to an inch are required if the 
work approaches being square. In a circular piece 
and ill making a mitre at corners one comes to grief 
if anything other than square work is produced. 
I'ilet crochet is at its best when the work is firmly 
drawn, even and very fine. The pieces here described 
are about 10 meshes and 10 rows to an inch. 



Figure 6. Butterfly Edging with Corner. 

Matekiai.s. — No. 50 crochet cotton and No. 
12 hook. The detail of work, Fig. 7, shows the 
corner as it should look when one-half is fin- 
ished, ready for the rows of the next half to be 
joined. 

While this is a good example of Filet Crochet, 
yet the long space (long sp) is introduced in 
the wings of the butterfly. A space (sp) is (ch 
2, miss 2, I t), a long sp is (ch 5, miss 5, 
I t). 

The models, Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 of Insertion 
are made as models containing the design, but 
when making a repeated border, the first row 
of work (at A) should be exactly like the sec- 
ond row, and the last row of Fig. 6 should be 
like the preceding row ; the detailed directions 
are given with this point in view.

33d row of directions for first butterfly ; and the order 
of rows must be reversed from that to the second row. 
For the last butterfly, commence with 2d row of 
directions and follow as for the first butterfly. The 
butterflies are turned toward the corners from the 
middle of each side; and if a longer border is made 
the number turned in each direction must be deter- 
mined by the length of the border. 

Figure 8. Butterfly Insertion. — The corner of 
Insertion is turned as in the edging, with a slight dif- 
ference at the outer edge, which is shown at Fig.

to make the second row of fans come exactly be- 
neath the first row. 

If a narrower lace is preferred, the work may end 
with the i8th row. This pattern would be very 
handsome crocheted in No. 5 crochet cotton or 
carpet warp with hook No. 7 or No. 8. For different 
purposes and where actual measure is not to be con- 
sidered, the worker may experiment at will.

Figure 37. Border for Tea Cloth. — Crochet 
cotton No. 150, and No. 14 hook. Work trebles 
into back loop, only, of trebles of preceding row; 
this gives the work a ribbed appearance. 

The rows forming one complete pattern of tlie 
design are numbered from i to 50. But if the worker 
wishes to begin at the middle of one side of a square 
(at point marked A in Fig. 38), four rows, — -A, B, 
C, and D, must be made before beginning row No.

This lace is worked lengthwise from right to left, 
the thread being broken at the end of each row, be- 
ginning again at the right-hand end. Stitches are 
taken into (not over) chain-stitches, and under 2 
loops in top of trebles. 

Make a chain the length required. 1st row — One

Figure 68. Edging for Handkerchief. — Xo. 150 

crochet cotton and No. 14 hook. 

Prepare the edge of a square of handkerchief linen 
by drawing three threads, ]4 of an inch from the 
edge; roll the hem tightly up to the drawn threads and 
* double crochet 3 sts over the hem, ch 6 for a picot, 
and join at base of ch; repeat from * around the 
handkerchief. 2d row — Ch 12 very tightly, sl in 4th 
ch st from work but do not finish the sl, keep 2 sts 
on the hook, draw a loop under the ch, (thread over 
hook, loop under the ch) 4 times, then draw a loop 
through the II sts on the hook, ch 2 tightly, dt be- 
tween the picots of 1st row, * ch 9, sl in top of dt. 
keeping both sts on the hook, loop under dt, (thread 
over hook, loop under dt) 4 times, loop through 11 
sts on hook, ch 2, dt between next 2 picots ; 
repeat from * around. Crowd the work at the 
corners so that it will round nicely. Crochet the 
chs very tightly and when it is completed, round 
out the picots with the crochet-hook or stiletto. 

Turn the work face down on a bath-towel, cover 
with a damp cloth and press, remove the cloth and 
finish pressing but do not iron the edge with the 
last pressing. 

Figure 69. Edging for Handkerchief. — No. 50 

crochet cotton and No. 13 hook. 

Double crochet over a very narrow flat or rolled 
hem. If the hem is turned to the right side and two 
or three threads drawn as for hemstitching, the cro- 
cheting will be very easy. After the row of doubles,

See page 39 

the work is in two rows, both worked in the same 
direction, both beginning at the right and without 
turning the work. When a corner is to be turned 
put 3 d in the same place at the corner. 

1st row — 2 si in first 2 ,d, ch 2, picot of 5 joined 
by d, (all the picots are of 5 ch, joined by d unless 
otherwise noted), ch 2, miss 3 d on hem, 2 si 
in next 2 d, * ch 4, picot, ch 6, picot, ch i, t 
in 4th ch st from last si, ch 3, miss 4 d on hem, 
2 si in next 2 d, ch 2, picot, ch 2, miss 3 d on 
hem, 2 si in next 2 d; repeat from *. At the corner, 
finish one of the larger figures with i si in the st 
next to the corner, omit the smaller figure or loop, 
commence again at * and make the larger figure, fin- 
ish with I si in the corner st without missing any 
d, commence again at *. Jd row — Fasten thread at 
the 1st st of 6-ch loop. * 5 d over 6-ch, ch 4 for 
picot, without joining, make S more d over same 6-ch, 
ch I, picot, ch I ; repeat from *. 

If the row of douljles is not crowded too closely, 
the picot loop of 2d row (between scallops) may be 
made "ch 2, p, ch 2" instead of "ch i, p, ch i." And 
upon the spacing of doubles will depend the num- 
ber to be missed between pairs of si sts.

Heading. — Fasten thread between p of ring and fol- 
low directions for Heading of Insertion, Figure 77. 

In making this lace with heavier thread it is well to 
make the 12-ch ring rather loose, or to make 16 close 
tight ch ; in coarser cotton the 12-d fill the half ring 
too tightly unless this point is noted.

Care should be taken to 
thoroughly shrink the linen 
before cutting the circular 
piece ; and the braid needs shrinking before applying 
to the linen. In crocheting of this character (with 
much open work ) it is not necessary to shrink the 
crocheting, but good judgment should be used in 
attaching the crochet to the braid. The spacing of 
doubles in the braid inay need to be changed from 
that of tlie directions.
